SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please, do not use the washing machine
without reading and understanding these
instructions or use first.
Be sure to remove transport brackets
prior first use of the appliance. Attempted
operation of the blocked machine may
result in irreparable damage which is not
covered by the manufacturers warranty!
When connecting your washing machine
to water supply, be sure to use the supplied
water inlet hose and sealing gaskets.
Failure to observe the instructions for
use or inappropriate use of the washing
machine may result in damage to the
laundry or machine, or injury to the user.
Keep the instructions for use handy, near
the washing machine.
Do not install the machine in a room where
temperature can drop below 0C. Parts of
the machine may be damaged if the water
inside them freezes.
Install the washing machine in a perfectly
horizontal position, on solid flat (concrete)
floor.
Follow the instructions for correct
installation and water and mains
connections (see chapter "Installation and
connections").
Never immerse the end of the drain hose
into the draining water.
Prior starting the washing cycle lock the
door by pressing them at the designed
spot.
351677

Door may not be open during the washing

cycle.
We recommend running the self-cleaning
program before the first wash in order to
remove any impurities from the washing
machine drum. (See chapter on Selecting
additional functions.
Use only detergents and softeners for
machine wash. Manufacturer may not
assume responsibility for any damage and
eventual discolouring of gaskets and plastic
components as a consequence of incorrect
use of bleach and/or colouring agents.
For removal of lime residues use such
agents with added anti-corrosion agents.
Follow the manufacturers instructions.
Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing
to remove completely eventual acid
residues (e.g. vinegar etc.).
Never use detergents containing solvents,
since there is a danger of creating toxic
gasses which may damage the machine and
result in ignition or explosion.
This product does not release silver ions
during the washing cycle.
Upon completion of the washing cycle,
close the water faucet and unplug the
mains cord.
Before transporting the machine after it
has been used, block the drum by inserting
at least one transport blocking rod.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
power before inserting the rod!

Rating plate with basic information is

located above the opening of the machine.
Leave any repairs and similar tasks
on the washing machine to an expert.
Unprofessional repair may result in an
accident or major malfunction.
The warranty shall not apply to
consumables, minor discoloration or
deviations of colour, increased noise level
as a consequence of appliance age, which
does not affect appliance functionality, and
aesthetical deficiencies which do not affect
appliance functionality or safety.

The appliance is intended exclusively

for use in households. If the appliance is
used for professional purposes, for profit,
or for purposes beyond regular use in a
household, or if appliance is used by a
person who is not a consumer, the warranty
period equals the shortest warranty period
possible as stipulated by the relevant
legislation.

THE APPLIANCE IS MANUFACTURED IN COMPLIANCE

WITH ALL RELEVANT SAFETY STANDARDS.
THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE USED BY CHILDREN
AGED FROM 8 YEARS AND ABOVE AND PERSONS
WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL
CAPABILITIES OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND
KNOWLEDGE IF THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION
OR INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE
IN A SAFE WAY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAZARDS
INVOLVED. CHILDREN SHALL NOT PLAY WITH THE
APPLIANCE. CLEANING AND USER MAINTENANCE SHALL
NOT BE MADE BY CHILDREN WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE WASHING MACHINE:

351677

Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting

the washing machine. Repair or any warranty claim
resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing
machine shall not be covered by the warranty.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

REMOVAL OF TRANSPORT BRACKETS

Move the pipes.

Loosen screws
at the rear of the
machine.

Remove the
brackets.

Slide brackets
into the groove
on the blocking
rod - the right one
should be turned
around.

4
Close the openings with attached
plastic pegs.

Use the
brackets to
rotate blocking rods
for 90 and pull
them out.

Be careful to prevent personal injury.

In removing the wrapping be careful not to damage the
appliance with a sharp object.
Remove transport protection devices; as running the washing
machine with the blocking rods in place could result in
damage. Save transport brackets for eventual later use.
Warranty shall be void in cases of such damage.
351677

10

SELECTING THE ROOM

The appliance should be placed on a surface with concrete
base; the surface should be dry and clean in order to
prevent slipping. The adjustable feet should also be
cleaned before installation.

INSTALLATION
Use a water scale and spanner No. 22 (for feet) and 17 (for the nut).

Put the appliance

in horizontal
position by turning
the adjustable
legs. The legs are
adjustable up to +/1 cm.

After the
adjustment
tighten the nuts
firmly - towards
the bottom of the
machine!

351677

Vibrations, moving of the appliance and loud operation

due to incorrect setting of the adjustable feet shall not be
covered by this warranty.

11

If you have a tumble dryer of the same dimensions, you can place
it on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feet or side
by side.

4X

Before connecting the appliance, let it warm up to room

temperature (wait at least two hours).

351677

12

WATER INLET CONNECTION

Insert the gasket with a filter net into
the straight inlet hose attachment
nut and screw the nut onto the water
tap (with some models, the gasket
with filter net is already fitted and any
additional fitting into the nut on the
straight attachment is not required).

AQUASTOP

TOTAL AQUASTOP

REGULAR
ATTACHMENT

To ensure correct operation of the appliance, water pressure

inlet must be between 0,05 and 0,8 MPa. Minimum water
pressure can be established by measuring the quantity of poured
out water. 3 litres of water must be poured out from completely
opened tap in 15 seconds.
If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then
connect one hose to the cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue
mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water supply (red
wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back wall
of the appliance (letters C and H) (C - cold; H hot).
Hot water (a mixture of hot and cold water) is added only on the
programs of 60 or more.

351677

The inlet hose should be tightened manually, firmly enough to

prevent any leaks. After tightening the hose, check for any leaks.
Use of pliers, wrenches, or other similar tools is not allowed when
installing the hose, as these tools can damage the nut thread.

13

AQUA-STOP

(CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by automatic closing system
which stops water inlet to the machine. In such cases display (A) turns red. Inlet pipe must
be replaced.

TOTAL AQUA - STOP

(CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by automatic closing system
which stops water inlet to the machine. Protection system will also detect whether there
is any water leakage in the washing machine interior. In such cases, washing is suspended,
water supply is cut off, and machine switches on the pump and signals an error.

Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into the

water, because it contains the electric valve!

351677

14

WATER OUTLET CONNECTION

Fix the drain hose to run into the sink or the bathtub, or connect
it directly to the wall drain outlet (diameter min. 4 cm). The end
of outlet hose should be placed between minimum 60 cm and
maximum 100 cm above the floor level. It can be attached in three
ways (A, B, C).

max 150 cm

Outlet hose
can be led into
a wash basin or a
bathtub. Use a string
to attach the hose
to the opening in
the elbow support
to prevent it from
slipping to the floor.

Drain hose
can also be
attached directly to
the basin drain.

After it is installed for the first time, the washing machine should
be left to stand still for two hours before it is connected to the
power mains.
Use the power cord to connect the washing machine to the power
mains through a power outlet. The washing machine may not be
connected to the power mains through an extension cable (danger
of overheating and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is
given on the rating plate located under the door frame.
To prevent from damage by excess voltage on the mains due
to lightning strike we recommend to use a class I over-voltage
protector between the machine and the mains.

The wall socket must be accessible at all times and must be

equipped with an earth lead (in accordance with the local
safety regulations).
The permanent connection must be fitted by an authorized
personnel only.
To avoid hazard, damaged power cord may only be replaced
by the manufacturer, authorized service technician, or other

The machine will signal the fault until it is turned off. If the fault
is on the heating system, the machine will complete the washing
program, but without heating the water.
Various interferences from the environment (e.g. electric devices)
may also cause the machine to signal faults.
In such case:

turn off the appliance and wait a few seconds,

turn on the appliance and repeat the washing program.
If the fault reoccurs, call the service center (Call centre).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE
YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Wash new coloured garments separately
the first time.
Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller
amounts, with more detergent or a prewash
cycle.
Treat stubborn stains with a special stain
removal agent before the wash. We
recommend using the "Grandma's advice
for natural stain removal".
With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend
a program without prewash, use of shorter
programs (e.g. Time Care) and a lower
washing temperature.
Frequent, or predominant, washing at low
temperatures, using liquid detergents, may
result in development of bacteria which
causes odour in the washing machine. To
prevent this, we recommend running the
auto-clean (SterilTub) program occasionally
(see section WASHING/ selecting additional
functions).
We recommend avoiding washing very
small amounts of laundry as this will lead
to excessive use of energy and poorer
performance.
Loosen the stacked laundry prior inserting it
into the drum.
Use only detergents for machine wash.
Add the powder or liquid detergents as
instructed by the manufacturer, according
to the washing temperature and selected
washing program.

351677

38

If water hardness level exceeds 14dH

degrees, the use of water conditioner is
required. Any damage to the heater due to
failure to use a water conditioning agent
shall not be covered by this warranty.
Check the information on water hardness
with your local water supply company or
authority.
Chlorine-based whitening agents are not
recommended, as it can damage the heater.
Do not add hardened balls of detergent into
the detergent dispenser as this may clog
the piping in the washing machine.
If you use thick liquid softener it is
recommended to dilute it with water, to
prevent clogging of dispenser compartment
ducts.
Liquid detergents are intended for main
wash only, without pre-wash.
High spin RPM leave less moisture in
laundry which dries out much quicker in the
tumble dryer, thereby saving energy.

* Testing program by EN 60456 with the selection of max. spin RPM

** Half load
Standard 60C ECO cotton programme and the standard 40C ECO cotton programme
are the standard washing programmes to which the information in the label relates. These
programmes are suitable for cleaning normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most
efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption. For this reason,
actual water temperature may differ from the nominal cycle temperature.

Due to variations in the type and quantity of laundry, spin speed,

variations in power voltage, and the temperature and moisture of
ambient, the measured values of the duration of the program and
power consumption with the end user may vary somewhat from
the displayed values.
